Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Citrix DaaS’s most valuable feature is the virtualization of applications and desktops."
"It is a stable solution. We don't usually have problems with the platform...It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the gateway to a remote connection, to a physical or a virtual PC. Compared to a normal VPN client and connection, the connection via Citrix is more stable and does not consume as much network bandwidth."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic software upgrades because they take place on only three or four servers, rather than on 50 or 60 machines."
"It has improved delivering applications to remote locations with its lower bandwidth utilization."
"Citrix is used by many organizations to make it possible to streamline the way different developers work together from different locations."
"The shadow feature is extraordinary and helps a lot when supporting remote users."
"Citrix Virtual Apps is the most valuable feature. Many customers use this feature to publish only applications, and not the full desktop. They can publish the internal resource or allow the end-user to reach a site or an application without having the full desktop. That's why they love this feature. It helps them save on resources."
More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Pros →
"It allows us to improve our security and prevent company files and data leaks."
"Since the software is launched directly from the computer, not remotely delivered, it has minimized latency and response time."
"We don't need to go to the physical office, and it only requires minimal supervision or assistance from our IT Team."
"Pricing and technical support need improvement."
"The video conferencing feature needs to be improved."
"Latency is also a major problem when adopting Citrix for video editing software or 3D editing software, especially editing 4K video or large file size. The Citrix virtualized solution becomes too slow, so we cannot use the VDI."
"Our experience of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is good, but the environment can become complex and difficult to manage at times."
"Tech support can be slow if you do not receive help from the US representatives."
"I have to re-enter my user password when I am not using the tool for some time around ten minutes. I want to also improve the need to download other Citrix apps."
"There have been many issues with stability."
"The product’s customization feature needs improvement."
More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Cons →
"It would be better to have the back end more efficient."
"We'd like to see a bit more done with the deployment capabilities."
"Currently, Venn only uses two platforms/applications: Windows and Mac. It would be great if they could also add more platforms since some BYOD employees might be using an application other than Windows or Mac - for example, Linux."
